My neighbor always leaves her French bulldog outside when it’s cold and/or rainy, I’ve asked her politely to let it inside because it was shivering and whining, it also usually barked the whole time when people weren’t walking by. About a week ago I decided to call the non emergency number because it was 40 and raining, the dog was shivering beyond belief. TL;DR she ended up with a summons for animal abuse. She came to my door when the cops left and started pounding and screaming, I just played music over her until she tired out. We have retaliation laws protecting people who report noise/abuse, but I felt like I could do something psychologically devastating to this horrible person

The next morning I decided to play a little prank and pull a Tom Haverford with my roomba. I downloaded a video of a puppy barking as an MP4 and put it on my phone, hooked it up to my Bluetooth speaker and let DJ roomba do the rest. It was on 30% volume, barely loud enough to hear through the walls. A short while later, a cop, along with my neighbor, were at my door about my dog barking, where I say “Dog? I don’t have a dog.” And pointed at my two cats at the top of the stairs and no dog in sight, even let the cop inside to show no sign of one. She then told the cop she could hear it moving from room to room, I just HAD to have a dog. That’s when I said “Her dog barks so much she probably hears it subconsciously.” This made her furious, the cop said don’t call about a dog again and we all went our separate ways. I’ve been doing this about every day when we’re both home and I can hear her screams of agony as she thinks it’s in her head, it makes me want to get a dog.
